Report Card

Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students here are quick to point out that LMU differs from its neighbors USC and UCLA. Overall, LMU is quiet and intimate. Palm trees dot the courtyards between the small buildings. On the exterior, LMU looks like an expensive school. The grounds are neatly manicured and constantly maintained. The school lacks the concrete sterility of a major university, but it possesses the advantages of a big city school—theaters, museums, and celebrities. The biggest contributor to student satisfaction is the size. Students cite a small student body and close ties with professors as the main advantages to an LMU education. Another plus is the lavish facilities, especially the Burns Rec Center with its state-of-the-art fitness center. The academics programs are also a highlight with students. The film school is growing in size and notoriety, while programs in political science, business, and communications are strong points.

On the negative side, a small university still possesses the same problems as a large university. Students repeatedly report problems with a disorganized administration, especially financial aid. Parking and housing are increasing problems that the University is only beginning to address through the addition of new residence halls. LMU is not perfect, but no university is. For students searching for a small, private university, LMU offers advantages that few other universities can provide, namely, a friendly, socially-conscious student body and a curriculum to match.

Prone to Get Freshman 15

There are many amazing places to eat close to LMU. If you simply walk to Lincoln there are many cute places: Crepes, Italian food, Thai food, and Mexican food. If you get bored of that you can always catch a ride with a freind or with the LMU shuttle to places nearby in Culver City and Santa Monica.

With a Good Lottery Number Your Dream Dorm Can Come True

Freshman year you live in the typical freshman dorms, there is no way out of it. From sophmore year to senior year you get a lottery number to ave a choice for housing and the best dorms are the housing buildings at the "bluff" because of the spectacular view of the beach and Los Angeles. Cross your fingers!

Not the Typical Party Scene

Nightlife exists outside of LMU, in clubs and houses in the area. There are no official frat or sorority houses. If you have friends at UCLA, USC, or any other LA school I suggest you tag along with them. Luckily we live close to Hollywood so save up money to pay a taxi to get there.
